Should be a real laugh. Does anyone know what section of the track they use? Has that been confirmed?
Don't know which bits you used on your Lotus day but iirc. thtrack runs alongside part of the factory with a left - right and tyre wall, then down to a 360 roundbout, back up a parallel track with a field and fence to he left, through a right hand kink to the finish. The actual start is right angles to the track with a 90 left.

I didn't understand a word of that Gerry, but I've consumed a bottle of Shiraz and part of a Chardonnay ( not a good mix, but all I had in the cupboard)

I am sure the course will make itself clear when I'm there :)

Coo! I surprise myself sometimes :D

The grey line is the track. If you look to the four white rooves, there's a car park to the left, top left hand corner of that is another car park. These are the paddock. From the bottom of the top paddock is a feint grey feeder road to the track. This is the start line with the 90 left onto the track.

Follow down the r/h side to the roundabout. Once around that i.e. 360 and back up the l/h side i.e. parallel to the first part. Carry on up there, ignoring the return right hander, and beyond is the right kink and finish.

Cars are held in an extension (out of pic) and brought back as a group to the paddock.

HTH

I am so looking forward to this Sprint, was gutted to go watch last year and not be able to take part.

Stuart, are you planning on having the Bimmer ready for this?

Last year, the farmer parked his van in the field, with him in it, in such a position that it caused the event to be stopped. He decided, or was pursuaded, to move after about an hour. :x

Confirmation of entry arrived :grin:

Hope nothing goes wrong as I've already had to cancel two B19 events this year.
